An optical modulation apparatus includes a first modulator, a second modulator, a multiplexer, a calculator and an adjustor. The first modulator configured to modulate light emitted by a light source using a first input signal and output a first modulated signal. The second modulator configured to modulate the light using a second input signal and output a second modulated signal. The multiplexer configured to multiplex the first and second modulated signals and output a multiplexed signal. The calculator configured to calculate a power difference between a higher-side frequency component having a frequency higher than a center frequency of the multiplexed signal and a lower-side frequency component having a frequency lower than the center frequency. The adjustor configured to adjust delays of the first and second input signals based on the power.
